I dont get how people leap to ET. Is there really any evidence that this is even a remote possibility? I think a 40 minute long transformer
explosion is more likely than a thawarted alien invasion No????

I have read of another who experienced a similar scenario loud booms from the sky, followed by helicopters is it possible there is a secret war going
on ?
There is mounting evidence that this may be the case.A power struggle between the white hats and the military and banking cabals that have ruled for
so long.

The thought crossed my mind too. This documentary sort of tells it straight. But an up to date civil war in the USA ? Anything is possible of course.
Certain states might be in conflict with the mindset of the federal government ? Or it might be operations to stop drugs or terrorists ? The
mainstream media might not be reporting on it due to license restrictions placed on them ? Only speculating of course !

I dont think there is any power in the land phone lines. I could be wrong but I thought that was for signal only , not power. The power for the phone
itself is only if you have a wireless phone in your home. Then you use your house electric supply. If you have a phone with a cord for the hand set
then there is no electricity used at all. I know our house phone works in a power outage if I unplug the cordless phone and plug in an old one with a
cord for the hand set. The cordless one needs electricity for the base which is also an answering machine. The old style phone works even without
power.

Also, don't blame him for not recording anything. My camera on my phone is awful. In any condition that is slightly dark, my camera picks up
nothing. I was in the cinema and my friend was fooling around before the movie started, tried to record but my camera couldn't pick up on any of the
surroundings, despite the fact the lights were still on cos they were just showing ads still.

I will vouch for the OP as a regular guy and not someone to make up wild tales to entertain you all. Wow! that is a crazy thing to wake up to.
There was a battle in the civil war at Jackson and the town itself was burned down if I remember correctly, so if time warps exist you'd be in the
right spot for some high strangeness.
I did a search for news in your area and no one seems to be talking about it.
I certainly believe your story though, I don't wish to cast aspersions your way at all.

Let us know what you find out - if anything.
I don't even have a wild guess as to what you witnessed.
Perhaps there's things going on the public is oblivious to -
You can bet the government won't be telling us anything!

interesting story.....we had the power go out twice this year, first one was a transformer blew a couple blocks away, one big noise and power out.

2nd one turned out to be a tree or tree branches fell on the lines, that's what we were told...I find that really interesting that the power
company told him they don't know.....they went out and fixed it so how can they not know....why didn't they come up with some plausable reason to
pass it off....

Something very similar happened to me in central florida last night. I really got a chill when I logged on and saw this thread.

I woke up at around 3:30am to hear my dogs going crazy. I have several that bark but when my bulldog barks I know something is wrong. I was so tired I
just laid for a minute and tried to get my bearings and remember where my gun was just in case. They calmed down and i just fell back asleep. About 30
min later (guessing) they were going crazy again. I looked up and noticed my cable box was off(the only way to know that the power is off in my dark
bedroom). I never checked my phone but all the power was off and the dogs were going crazy staring down the backyard. There was nothing there but it
really freaked me out and was very out of the ordinary. And now while Im sitting here typing this a coworker comes in and tells me he had no sleep
because his neighbors dogs starting barking and going crazy around 2:30 this morning. strange things going on.

Great thread OP! Very very interesting. You say the phone was working but not getting service? I'm disappointed and surprised that you didn't think
to record some of it though , which would have been a better idea than going back to bed to lie down lol. and when you say it sounded like anti weapon
gunfire what is ' anti weapon' gunfire?
Again, great thread and than you for sharing

I think it could have been an ionisation event. I can't tell you the cause.

If so, then start looking for hair dropping out, nausea, vomitting, diarrhea and maybe flulike symptoms.
If skin looks sunburnt then sloughs off or if gums or nose bleeds then take Vitamin E and C and put Vit E on sunburnt parts.
Welts and unexplainable rashes too.

Look for these symptoms in your pets also.
Polar bears and Alaskan Air hostesses are having problems with this already.

Fukishima was to hide these events.

Start boosting your immune system now and your pets, with supplements. I have.

Two of my pets have diarrhea at the moment, and ongoing neurological problems from an ionisation event last year, when they were tiny.

Be safe.

@AriesJedi

Please pardon my ignorance AJ, but what the hell is an 'Ionisation Event'??

Omaha NE, heard what I thought was a thunderstorm in the distance around 4am. Thought I would get up if it got closer. Then at 6:45 aprox I heard
military choppers, that is unusual for around here. Our air base only gets them a few times a year. Not that this proves anything except there was
some activity. Circumstantial for now...

I suspect it could be war games, because two weeks ago they were setting off large ordnance in Iowa all day. It was loud enough to shake our
building, and to get me to call them and confirm. So now we have Fl, MS, NE. Quite a spread to be related, but interesting. Any other states
reporting in?

First of all, transformers aren't as simple as they used to be and have many parts to them. One part can blow, causing another to blow after several
minutes and so on, but even without that, after it blows, you still have live electrical wires going to the blown transformer and if there is any wind
of any kind, those wires are going to sway into one another, causing sparks and crackles, very bright flashes and very loud noises. With that type of
energy going on, they'd probably get helicopters out to see what in the world is going on. It can also cause other transformers down the line to blow
if the lines keep interacting, causing a wider-spread blackout and complications. So, this very well could have been a blown transformer, either as
the cause or the result of something else mundane.
You may prefer that it be aliens or some government cover-up, but that doesn't automatically make it so.
